Guys,
 
What have been the myriad solutions to fitting the pilot's side control stick so we can achieve full rear elevator travel with the stick full left?
 
The manual calls for a 20 degree stick angle.  That didn't work, so I increased it to 25 degrees.  My knuckles still hit the sidewall & door frame (trimmed to 1 1/4").  Maybe surgery on my left hand? Fly from the right side? Cut and weld the sitck?  If so a straight bend inboard? Or an "S" bend/weldment?
 
Thanks,
